Any garage with the right kit should be able to do it. An indy will be rather cheaper :D

Hello mate

Glad you managed to fit the intake pipe, the hose clips are character building to get at !
If you can't get someone to reset the fuel trims they will readapt eventually anyway providing you clear the fault memory, it's best practise to reset them but not essential. Hope the car is now running ok.
